Building the silicon backbone of Europe’s AI leadership
Join imec and leading experts from across the semiconductor ecosystem to explore how Europe can turn the next wave of AI into a new era of technological leadership by strengthening competitiveness, building a complete semiconductor ecosystem, accelerating AI and compute advances, enabling industry applications, and fostering collaboration through technology, policy, and ecosystem development.
At imec’s ITF Chip into the Future, experts will discuss -
- how to design chips built for tomorrow’s AI workloads,
- why chiplet architectures are essential to manage the growing complexity and heterogeneity at the autonomous edge,
- how sustainability can be baked into the chip manufacturing process, and
- the enabling conditions to build and scale a European AI ecosystem, such as the Chips Act 2.0, the EU Chip Design Platform (EuroCDP), and the NanoIC pilot line.
Leading companies, including ventures, will present and join panel discussions to bring a market perspective from areas where Europe is poised to make a difference, including robotics, telecom, and next-generation compute.
